I thought I was going to be in Bangkok, but it turns out that I am actually in Singapore – and very nice it is too. Accompanied by Fearless Leader, Woody Allen in Robert de Niro’s Body Creative Director and Sofa Gonk, we flew in a couple of hours ago, and are at somewhere positively [...]

The inevitable stand-off and explosion of shouty crackers between me and Travesty of All Things Gay has finally come – or rather, Round One of it (conducted via e-mail) has come – and is to be continued on Friday. I managed to get in the sentences: “I have enough to do without having to deal [...]

Oh I am having a lovely Planner-y time at the moment! I am having to ensure that I don’t usher Dame Pretention into the parlour and settle her down with a piping hot cup of ludicrousness, but I think (at the moment) that I am managing to steer the course right between “My word, that’s [...]

Old Friend At Work and I have many running jokes, most of which are based on re-framing things that we have said to each other in earnestness, or have overheard being used by others.
